fork

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Neil Anderson, Friday, 6 Jan 2012, 22:01

When I, once-or-twice, attended my brick-university, there was this place called the grease-pit; where you could eat anything fried.

All I really remember about it is that they made the best ever easy-over eggs and a quote on the wall from the Naked Lunch. It was on-canvas, in oils, created by a proper art student and covered in a thin film of fat.

It was the, clarity on the end a the fork, quote [for, despite what everyone pretends, nobody has ever read that book]. Tonight that art-work/quote came flashing back to me.

I decided to add a wee-bit-more functionality to the solitaire thingee. My additions had caused a rippling-through-chaos-effect. The thing thralled.

But the additions worked, in their own way, during the process, I don't want to lose them. Perhaps a fork? This is a job for: version control; I hadn't committed.

The Hg documenation seems a bit vague...oh, branch, or clone?, still...? I can't use the it! Can I? When will I ever learn!?

I can't see what's at the end of my fork clearly.

You're getting to your second life when you start thinking back to previous Uni. with fondness.

I remember when all of this were green grass. . . . . .

Yes

Time to burnish the brain and polish the gob. Once again we play at academe.

See you at the tutorial Chris. Hopefully they'll be in the afternoon so that I can get there...

Yeah well you are a braver man (human being to avoid charges of sexism than I am ) I decided that I could only cop with 30 points of brain fuck per session so have left group theory to the cloud or at least I'll concentrate on my own efforts to relate group theory to physics something that seems to be lacking in M336. Looking forward to the antidote of MS324 to all that mind boggling stuff in the Platonic universe that M338 topology will induce. With the illiusiion that it describes what is really real as opposed to the fraility of our Humean experience of the real world that the fragility of our attempts to establish to make some vague sense of it all.

(Sorry if that seems a bit rambling)

 

arb Chris.

I'm actually looking forwards to the groups, despite my inability to answer exam questions on them [under 45% for the last one!] I always do well on the TMAs [my one 100% for M208].
